 American multinational technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, software, and online services Apple has just been fined another $19 million (over 2.3 billion Kenyan shillings) in Brazil for not including chargers with their phones. 

In its defence, the company quoted environmental reasons for not including the lightening USB-C cable along with the phones.

The company argues that many people already have chargers thus its decision to continue to sell chargers on a stand-alone basis.

Apparently, it is their way of helping reduce carbon emissions and electronic waste.

However, the Brazilian court believes that this is just a way for the company to make more money by selling its own accessories.

Well, the internet in its true form remains undefeated. Netizens online have been reacting to this fine levied on Apple with some hilarious memes, as a $19 million fine is just pocket change for a trillion-dollar company like Apple.

Below are some of the best memes:
